"That's why, at present, we're conducting a 12 -week course- for swine herd workers and dairy herd workers at Centralia College.\' Farmers can make arrangements to interview these trained herd workers at Centralia College at the end of March. "The men and women in the course will have had encigh experience so they can start working with just a minimum of additional training by the employers", says Don Orth, co-ordinator for the dairy herd workers programa. ,,,During--the-four-weeks-of:. classroom instruction trainees are taught the basics of herd management- - breeding, feeding and care of the animals - sanitation and the operation and management of equipment. There are also seven weeks of on-farm experience at three different types of operations. "They gain experience ' with differing management procedures," says Orth. "That way they have enough background so they can understand why a farmer wants things done a certain way." This year seven of the 30 trainees, sponsored by Manpower, are women. According to the instructors these women are among the top of the class. McKnight says the waren are more conscientious and seem to be more sensitive to the animals; especially the sick animals. He thinks part of the reason may be that women put more thought into the decision to become a herd worker. The Centralia College staff 'is prepared to provide far- mers with evaluations on the studeat's:-pertormance_.both___I in classroom and on the training farms. ;Also; they'll assist a'fartner in finding the most suitable candidates for K his orl a operation. ' Farmers •sVishing to conduct interviews at Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, Huron Park, Ontario can contact Don Orth or Dennis McKnight. The dairy herd workers will be ready for hiring during the week • of March 14 andthe swine herd workers will be completing their courses March 30 to Apri13. fes, PRICES EFFECTIVE TI=IRU 4 SATURDAY, MARCH 21st, 1981 "March is Red Cross Month. g WO rerieit the right to limit quantities to normal family requirements. 0. 2. 0 fa a.
